Bought An Evo that was rooted already but don't know which one? Please help

I bought an Evo from Cragslist and Installed on it was the android-wifi-tether. I neaver asked the seller what root he had put on the Evo is there any way to check? I wanted to but the new update on Evo not really sure what to do I don't really use/abuse the teathering thing it is nice to know you can do it though.

Settings-About Phone-Software. It should be listed in the version number. If the bootup is the typical Spring 4G splash, then it's probably just stock with wifi tether.
If you ever want to keep root or unroot in the future, do not install the OTA update. You'll lose the ability to root.
You can install just about any ROM you want, read around the forums for information on each one and how to install them. You may also want to read the "how to root" threads to see how it was done, as it's very instructional.

Thanks for your help its sounds like I may want anthor rom idk the battery life and SD cards are major issues for me and i'm hoping that with a diffrent rom they would be able to fix them. I read that formating the SD card might fix the sd card bug but i'm afraid i'lll lose my root do you know if thats the case? Thanks

Formatting the SD card will not make you lose root. Although, it sounds like you may want to try flashing another Rom or even trying to redo toasts rooting guide

If all else fails just re-root. That way to can make sure of the root type
Simple Root

Thanks for your reply I'll try re-formatting the SD card tonight i'm kind of scared to put anther rom on the phone it seems so complicated....
But since I bought the phone used I really have no idea whats on this thing since I didn't ask the seller the right questions when i bought it

I have never used Craigslist before, but you can't email him just to ask? Worst case is he doesn't reply to your email.

good call I wrote the person I bought it from I didn't even think to search email and send him a message thanks for the advise!!

when i follow these steps i get the option to see versions of many diff things. android version, baseband version, kernel version, pri version, prl version... which one tells me the root? i also bought a rooted evo off someone and need to update gingerbread and beed this info i am told

If you're rooted and s-off, all you need to do is download the stock rooted rom (or if you'd like, a custom rom with updated software) and flash it through recovery. If you don't know how to flash roms, there are guides available here and on other sites.
You don't really need to know how it was rooted unless you are wanting to unroot. If you boot into hboot, then your hboot version will most likely tell how it was rooted. If it's 6.16, then it was rooted with revolutionary. If it's 2.10 or below, it was most likely rooted with unrevoked... but it could've been rooted with Toast's method or something else. If it's still on 2.2, then most likely unrevoked was used unless someone rooted with revolutionary and then flashed a 2.2 rom, but that's unlikely.
If you don't want it to be rooted, find out which root method was used and unroot with the proper method. You can RUU to the latest firmware during the unroot process.

All you need to do is research flashing roms. Once you understand that, go to the Evo 4G Development forum and find the stock rooted rom (grab the odexed version unless you plan to theme or modify it). Backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup and texts with SMS Backup & Restore if you'd like. Boot into recovery, nandroid backup, then wipe and flash as directed in one of the many guides.
If you have ClockworkMod recovery, I suggest switching to Amon Ra. Download the PC36IMG for AR and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders), then boot into hboot. The phone will scan for the file and ask you to update, hit volume up for yes.
You can get a properly named version of Amon Ra from here: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
But before doing anything, read as much as you can. Good luck!

[Q] Help with Noob and rooted 2.2 incredible

I have been trying to root my phone for a while now and apparently have done so successfully(says the unrevoked screen). That being said I don't know how to access super user status(I appologize for noob language). Am i missing something?!? Do i need to enter a specific mode to change mess with the phone?
I am sorry for the obviously noob question but i am lost here and don't know where to go. I am super eager to see what this phone can actually do. Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.

You don't really access it unless an app calls it. In the Apps, you should see Superuser. If you do, then you should be good. Try this link:

Thank you
I do see the superuser under my applications. I was really excited to delete some of the stock aps that come on my phone. How do I do that?

Figured it out thank you
This link is a good step by step to root and basic processes once rooted. Thank you for your help as i would still be aimlessly trying to figure things out.

download titanium backup but before you do that i would download ROM manager (or just do a nandroid backup through recovery)
Titanium backup can uninstall practically anything which is why you SHOULD backup your ROM before you start going on a uninstall rampage.
Titanium and ROM manager are indispensable in the root world.
good luck!

Unrevoked 3.21 and custom ROM
A quick question. I've been searching to find out if gaining root with unrevoked 3.21 will allow you to access ROM manager and download the ROM you want. On CM6 site, it indicates that even after 2.2 root, I would still have to downgrade to 2.1 to flash CM6. Is that still true, and is that true for all ROMs?

not sure what guide you are looking at but some are dated, some are for different phones, and some can confuse the reader because there are mutliple ways to do the same thing...etc.
just use the unrevoked tool for your phone. it will install clockworkmod recovery for you, give you root and s-off.
go to the market... download ROM manager. In ROM manager you will be able to download CM6 and a few other ROMs. no need to downgrade. Have fun and do not forget to BACKUP!

Much appreciated. The guide was here but I figured it was probably outdated, before 3.21. I love the community here. So helpful. Can't thank you enough.

Actually that's a great guide. I used that myself and i am sure the unrevoked part is still the same:
1. Go to the unrevoked website.
2. Select the HTC Incredible.
3. Download the option for operating system on the computer.
4. Connect the HTC Incredible & run the unrevoked software.
* The process takes a minute or two and in the end HTC Incredible should boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
5. Once complete, the HTC Incredible will have SU access and ClockworkMod Recovery will be installed in place of stock recovery.
-------------------------------
also, don't get confused about updating your radio in that guide... i am positive you have the latest (Official) radio anyways... but to check hit Menu>Settings>About Phone>software information
baseband version = radio
Official Froyo radio is 2.15.00.07.28
The only time I had a problem with the official radio was when i flashed the Desire ROM... which makes sense that you should have that latest leaked radio.

Whats the root method to use these days

OK guys (and gals) I'm a noob and totally confused myself trying to read 1000s of pages here in the forum. I'm currently running OTA 3.26.651.6 and understand there's a 3.29.****.5 OTA now available. I tried TheBiles idiot proof guide but the link in step 30 is broke. Most of the guides out there seem to be out of date. So I'm looking for some advice from the PROS on which to use and how to use. Remember im a noob so keep it simple. Also is there a glossory about all this like:
What is;(and what do they benefit)
ClokWorkMod
NAND
Rom Manager
ect.

unrevoked 3.21
You run it on your computer, plug in your phone, and follow the directions. You get full root and ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone, as well as unrevoked forever. It's super easy.
Pros:
It's super easy
It gives you full root
It gives you root forever (unrevoked forever)
Takes care of everything (root, custom recovery, "S-OFF" AKA unrevoked forever)
Thoroughly tested
Cross-platform support
You can actually set any custom recovery image you want through the menu
Cons:
You need a computer

sturmen - thanks for the quick reply. Also should i update to OTA 3.29*** before or after (or never) i use this method?

Don't update through Sprint (ever). That's not how we roll around here. You're gonna want to root your phone as it is, then flash a custom ROM. You can tell which ones are based on the latest OTA on that wiki page; flashing one essentially "updates" you to that version. Personally, I recommend Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 if you like Sense, or CyanogenMod v6.0.0 if you don't.

The biles guide was made a while ago, so it makes sense it is out of date. The best next one, that works, would be regaws method. There is even a mac guide using his method if you have a mac.

Straight from Unrevoked 3.21 RootWiki: here
Does this permanently unlock the NAND flash on my phone?
Yes. The default configuration of this tool disables the phone's security, which also disables the NAND locks placed on the storage by the bootloader. If you choose not to disable security, the /system partition will be read-only after the tool completes.

Using Old Backup's with this?
Here is my question on this. I just recieved my new phone today and I am planning on using this method to root my phone. Before I gave up my old phone I did a Nand backup which has all of my programs my "fresh rom" and ect. on it. Now on the old phone I used the Toast method and nand unlock to root my phone. Will I be able to just do a normal nand restore after I use the unrevoked3 to unlock my new phone? Or do I have to start all over? I checked on the sd card in the Nandroid backup is there. Thank you in advance

I read that the other day, but I kept reading posts stating to run unrevoked forever after unrevoked3 to make it permanent. Was a little confused... I guess unrevoked 3.21 includes unrevoked forever, lots of contradicting posts though.

one thing about that wiki that confuses me is when it talks about .ZIP ROMS, once i use unrevoked can I use Fresh's .ZIP?

Unrevoked 3 was pre-Unrevoked 3.21. That did not do Nand unlock and S-Off and required you to flash Unrevoked Forever to get Nand unlock and S-Off.

.zip ROMs are flashed via recovery. unrevoked should give you CWM recovery, and therefore you should be able to flash ROMs (including Fresh). Make sure you back up, and also wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache before flashing. If you need help with that, here's a step-by-step:
Have full root with NAND unlock, by unrevoked 3.21 (recommended) or otherwise
Download the ROM you want in .zip format (Go for Fresh!)
Put the .zip into the root of your microSD card
Install Quick Boot from the Market
Use Quick Boot to enter recovery
Go to nandroid, then make a backup
Go to wipe, and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik-cache
Select "Flash zip from SD card"
Select the one you downloaded
Let it run
Reboot your phone
Congratulations! You are now part of the cool kids club!
Alternately, purchase ROM Manager Premium which allows you to download, backup, wipe and flash all in one step from within Android and without interacting with recovery. $4.99 and totally worth it.

OK, but what about those of us that don't want a custom ROM? Is there any reliable way of getting from root 3.26 to root 3.29 without a data wipe?
As far as I can tell my best reliable option is:
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup all my apps/settings
2) Use unrevoked3 and the stock 3.29 ROM here to upgrade to 3.29 and regain root
3) Reinstall Titanium and restore my apps/settings
Is this correct, or is there an easier way?

On another Evo which I've helped root, I just downloaded the new 3.29 rooted stock ROM, wiped cache/davlik cache, flash new ROM, reboot, then go back and flash the new radio/PRI stuff and it works without having to wipe phone data.

It is my understanding that as long as you have the same Recovery flashed (Clockwork or Amon RA) as you did on your old phone you should be able to copy the backups to your SD card (maintaining the same directory structure as they were before) and restore them without issue.

[Q] What rooting method should I use? HELP!

Hey guys I'm new to this forum so please dont chew me out. I have a few questions about rooting my evo 4g on 2.2 froyo. I have done some extreme extensive research in the past week, and I have heard that unrEVOked methods are bad and cause alot of problems. Now im fully convinced that one-click methods are trashy because they dont even tell you what their methods are. So can someone in this forum please tell me whats the best updated ROOT method as of today? (thats not using unrevoked, simple root or any one click methods).

I'd like to know too!
This is my first dealings with a phone that has more than a camera on it (n00b). I pay for the $30 hot spot with sprint, but have been researching and found that you can do it by rooting your evo.
I backed up all my contacts to the sd card and copyed the sd to my pc. Installed htc sync and have pdanet. Thats it, I havent backed it up or anything.
Just got it so its 2.2, 3.30.651.2. I think I read some where that 3.30.651.2 cant be rooted if it was factory installed. Dont know the date of the thread i saw it on but is that true?
Any help about backing up before root would be great as well. Thanks a million

thats a one click method....is that for phones running froyo 2.2? how do i know if that method will work? thats only for phones running hboot 2.02 how do i know i have that?

IMO, some of the older revisions of unrevoked had some issues and that's what tainted their methods. The latest iteration is stable and I would recommend going with it if you are on 3.29.
3.30 requires the s-off method posted above.

Yeah, I've rooted 1 evo with the downgrade method and 3 with unrevoked. Unrevoked is faster and results are the same. Just follow the instructions carefully.
The only change I would make is download the amon ra 1.8.0 recovery .img (not the .zip) and in unrevoked before you start the flash, go to options and choose custom recovery and load the amon img. This way you'll be rooted with amon recovery not clockwork and you're all set.

the downgrade method was the one posted by dan wager (regaw_leinad) in late august right? So the link you posted is the latest one ?
Wait so, how do i get amon RA on my phone? am i supposed to get it after I root or during the root process? What about the nandroid backup? Can you tell me how to do that after i root? I know im supposed to download and flash the 2.2 rooted ROM and do a nandroid back up i think. I need a walk through =[

Yep that's the one. The link I posted is the guide for 3.29 unrevoked. Get the amon recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026.
You load that .img file into the unrevoked app before you connect your phone, there's an option for custom recovery. Once unrevoked is finished. You can boot into recovery and make your first nandroid. After that, time to play

bumppppppp

You don't need to flash anything when you're done. You will be rooted with your current stock set up. Just boot into recovery and go to backup to make a nandroid.

ok that makes sense.... I need amon RA to do a nandroid back up right? can you tell me the process for putting amon RA on the phone? Do i need to do it during the root process? or after? Is the link you provided the latest version of amon RA?

bumppppppppp

Ok, seriously, stop bumping the thread for no reason at all.
The instructions are clear in the links I have given you as well as what I have said in this thread in terms of loading amon ra into unrevoked. You are free to reset to factory defaults at any point if you want to, there isn't any need to do that, as if you ever want to return to complete stock, you can wipe at any point and flash a stock ROM. You get into recovery by powering on the phone and holding vol down.
Your first post says "I have done some extreme extensive research" - clearly you have not, if you had, you wouldn't be asking the questions you are.
This is my last post on this, go read more before you start rooting and screw something up.
Good luck.

You are free to reset to factory defaults at any point if you want to, there isn't any need to do that, as if you ever want to return to complete stock, you can wipe at any point and flash a stock ROM. You get into recovery by powering on the phone and holding vol down.
Your first post says "I have done some extreme extensive research" - clearly you have not, if you had, you wouldn't be asking the questions you are.
This is my last post on this, go read more before you start rooting and screw something up.
Good luck.

You didn't tell me how to load amon ra into unrevoked. How do i load it into unrevoked when it requires the device to be rooted and nand to be unlocked?

unrevoked gives me an option to copy the .img into it during the process?

Unrevoked to get newer clockworkmod?

Propibly a stupid question but i rooted my phone a while back and it is still s-on and i'm not sure if i'm going to s-off so i was wondering is it safe to use unrevoked again on my phone with out wiping data and cache and by that way flash cwm 3.0.0.5?
Oo and sorry for my english hope you understand what i'm trying to ask

You can't root an already rooted phone, doesn't work and can mess everything up so you have to start again, unless you go S-Off ofc.

I thought so
So i think i have to go s-off atleast to get the newest cwm.
But i don't know much about s-off and what i get from doing it so it's a bit scary

Try Rom-manager from the Market!
With it you can update, very easy now stress no need for s-off

But it is a temporary fake-flash - next time you reboot, you get the previous version.
For permanent update either S-OFF....
or some people said they succeeded with using the same version of unrEVOked for flashing the update, as the version they used for rooting. Just select a custom image.

Yes use unrevoked to flash it. No problem. Nandroid just in case.

If you want to know more about S-Off just look here. Just read everything carefully, when you have understood you can do it.
From doing it you will get several things. Of course you will be able to flash the recovery you want directly with fastboot. You will also be able to flash another radio or another hboot. In particular you could be interested in changing hboot if you want a different partition layout, everything is explained in the link above.

But if it messes up i might not get into recovery and i need to ruu it right? And does a nandroid take backup of recovery?
And thanks Ed Roid i will look into that
